Harry Kane’s future appears to have finally been settled. According to recent media reports, the English striker is on the verge of signing a contract extension with FC Bayern. The final details are set to be discussed following the team’s trip to Asia—there is apparently little doubt left that the striker will remain with the club.
As BILD soccer editor Christian Falk reports, FC Bayern and Harry Kane will begin talks on a new contract shortly. According to the report, both sides have already reached a basic agreement on the key terms of the deal.
The new contract is expected to keep the English international with the German record champions through the summer of 2029. Financially, too, there are apparently no major obstacles remaining. According to Falk, Kane is set to continue earning around 25 million euros gross per year, making him one of the top earners on the Munich squad.
Bayern is counting on Kane for the long term
By extending his contract, FC Bayern would send a clear signal. Kane remains the offensive face of the team and is expected to continue leading the record champions as a key player in the coming years.
Recently, rumors of a possible transfer had surfaced repeatedly. FC Barcelona, in particular, was cited as a potential suitor. Following Robert Lewandowski’s departure to Chicago Fire, the Catalans were apparently looking for a new center forward and had also considered Kane.
However, a concrete transfer was never seriously considered. According to information from Falk, the Englishman made it clear early on that he sees his future in Munich and has no intention of changing clubs.
Titles Instead of a Return to England
Speculation about a return to the Premier League also appears to be off the table for good. Kane was repeatedly linked to Manchester United or a return to Tottenham. Rumors also circulated that he wanted to challenge Alan Shearer’s goal-scoring record.
However, according to information from sources close to the player, this is not the case. Kane feels at home at FC Bayern and continues to see Munich as offering the best opportunities to regularly compete for national and international titles.
If the final negotiations proceed as planned after the team’s return from Asia, Bayern Munich is expected to officially announce the contract extension shortly. This would wrap up one of the summer’s most important personnel matters early on, allowing the Munich club to continue planning for the long term with its top goal-scorer.
